WOW! You gotta see this! It was on Facebook. I guess I’m easily impressed. Well a long week of work has ended. I’m not sure if it was the full moon or kids getting into the candy early, but the kids were just NUTS! Yeah, I’ll be home passing out candy tonight. I have all…

And in honor of National Domestic Violence Abuse Awareness Month, I send this song out for all those victims of physical, verbal and emotional abuse.

It’s your beloved Cosmic DJ, the sketchyscribe bringing you a flash back from the past…1986. Mr. Mister recorded this very tubular song. “Broken Wings,” ended up #5 on the Top Songs of 1986 Billboard Year End Chart.
